- the ultrasonic measuring signals In ultrasonic flowmeters, if they work according to the transit time difference, the Doppler or the cross-correlation method, the ultrasonic measuring signals at a predetermined angle in the pipe or in the measuring tube, in which or in which the flowing Medium is located, coupled in and out. In order to achieve optimum impedance matching and thus optimal coupling and decoupling, the ultrasonic measuring signals are coupled into the pipeline via a feed body or a coupling wedge, respectively, and are coupled out of the pipeline or out of the measuring tube.
- the main component of an ultrasound sensor is at least one piezoelectric element which generates and / or receives the ultrasound measurement signals in a defined frequency range.
- the ultrasonic measurement signals generated in a piezoelectric element are passed through a coupling wedge or a flow body and the pipe wall in the fluid medium.
- the medium is either a liquid or a gas. Due to the speed of sound, which is relatively strongly dependent on the medium, the ultrasound measurement signals are refracted at the interface of two different media.
- the respective refraction angle is calculated according to Snell's law, that is, the angle of refraction depends on the ratio of the propagation velocities of the two adjacent media.
- Clamp-on ultrasonic sensors for ultrasonic flowmeters need for Coupling or decoupling of the ultrasonic measuring signal a direct contact with the pipeline.

- any other common type of fastening in connection with the solution according to the invention is applicable.
- the coupling adapter to the flow body tightening is applicable.
- a first layer of a coupling medium is provided between the flow body and the coupling adapter.

- the damping is effected by punctures or recesses in the coupling adapter or in the damping layer.
- particles are stored in the material of the coupling adapter or the damping layer at least in selected areas, which have a damping function. The particles are, for example, particles of tungsten oxide.
